VI, B''or:-We notice in column of
your last week S issue. "A statement If a farm
or residing in the neighborhood ofBrvantown
IN regard to the cultivation Of tobacco, and
the expenses attached. This statement Mr.
Editor, is problem that one of vonr inter
ested readers has been unable to solyc op to
'date, and will ask for but short snace for
further inquiry. II is mystery to me 10 know
how our Bryantown farmer can rate his ex-
penses at such low figure consideria1 that be
did most Of the work himself. In his first
item he has charged SIS for blowing and Gull
titating, we do not see where he has made
any charge whatever for planting, unless in
cluded in his cultivation charge, which is m
doubleday gerry reasonable. When he speaks Of
charging Sl5 for blowing and cultivating,
we are under the opinion that he certainly
must only intend it for merely running cul-
TRAITOR through his tobacco one time once in
a row
Now ask the farmers generally Of Charles
county can they coincide with the low estima-
ton of their brother farmer in caltvating
such crop, If so, |, a representative of Prince
George CO., think it would be advisable for US
to move owe; into Charles county To make
an accurate statement of said crops would
consume too much of your valuable paper and
| do not care to impose on your good nature,
so will simply ask the farmers of
Charles if they think that SIS is too
mach to allow for the planting of four acres
of tobacco, laid or the usual width and if
they think the pitiful sum of $40 dollars
will prepare the land for planting, work the
crop at least four times, house the tobacco,
and pay other little expenses too numerous to
mention. Having had some little experience
in raising tobacco, | am most decided
ly under the opinion that our Bryantown far
mer must have incurred more expense than he
charged IN his carefully itemized account We
are not Preiudiced against the weed the least,
and we are truly glad to know of our friend S
success. We are puzzled however to under
stand how he could sell it in transfer for such a
capital price even conceding it to be Of the finest
quality, but presume the party that purehss-
ed must have made mistake in bis calcula-
ton as did the farmer. Bat still think
"the early bird should have the advantage
Of the mirket in order to catch the worm.

Catching Robins.-Mr. Editor. Since
bins have been selling at 81 90 per dozen
In the Baltimore market, there has been a new
enterprise started at Ia Plata By one or our
merchants, Messrs. II G. Il. and Dentist
Doctor In company with two tie getters
they went one night last week to what they
supposed to be robins roost, for tie purpose
Of bagging large quantity Of robins to be
shipped by Adams Express 10 market next
morning. Arriving at the spot they started
four fires, and each man took his position with
a limb Of brush in his hand to kill the BIRDS
as they came to the light, but TO their sur
prise not bird came, so they gave up the
job ia disgust. And to clap the climax, one III
never coming alose, on their return home iher
lost their way, and spent To. better portion Of
the balance Of the night wandering in the
woods
Ifauy Of your readers, Mr. Editor, can ug-
gest more successful plan for catching fo5-
ms for market than that adopted by those
snterprisng gentlemen, ! would like to hear
from them.
